RESUMEN
Dominant-negative mutations in the transcription factor Growth Factor Independence-1B (GFI1B), such as GFI1BQ287*, cause a bleeding disorder characterized by a plethora of megakaryocyte and platelet abnormalities. The deregulated molecular mechanisms and pathways are unknown. Here we show that both normal and Q287* mutant GFI1B interacted most strongly with the lysine specific demethylase-1 - REST corepressor - histone deacetylase (LSD1-RCOR-HDAC) complex in megakaryoblasts. Sequestration of this complex by GFI1BQ287* and chemical separation of GFI1B from LSD1 induced abnormalities in normal megakaryocytes comparable to those seen in patients. Megakaryocytes derived from GFI1BQ287*-induced pluripotent stem cells also phenocopied abnormalities seen in patients. Proteome studies on normal and mutant-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived megakaryocytes identified a multitude of deregulated pathways downstream of GFI1BQ287* including cell division and interferon signaling. Proteome studies on platelets from GFI1BQ287* patients showed reduced expression of proteins implicated in platelet function, and elevated expression of proteins normally downregulated during megakaryocyte differentiation. Thus, GFI1B and LSD1 regulate a broad developmental program during megakaryopoiesis, and GFI1BQ287* deregulates this program through LSD1-RCOR-HDAC sequestering.

Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is involved in the catabolism of many ligands, including factor VIII (FVIII) and alpha-2-macroglobulin (α2M). Transfer of FVIII to LRP1 is currently believed to be preceded by pre-concentration on the cell surface, by interacting with a so far unidentified component. In the present study, we used confocal microscopy and flow cytometry to compare endocytosis of FVIII and α2M using U87MG cells. The results show that α2M is rapidly internalized and does not compete for LRP1 mediated internalization of FVIII. FVIII endocytosis did not occur in the presence of receptor-associated-protein (RAP), but FVIII remained visible as a striated fluorescent pattern at the cell borders. In the presence of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), no FVIII was observed on or within the cells, suggesting that VWF blocks interaction with both cell surface and LRP1. The same dual inhibition has previously been observed for FVIII C1 domain directed monoclonal antibody KM33. Elimination of the KM33 epitope by replacing FVIII C1 residues 2091-2095 and 2155-2160 for the homologues from factor V (FV), however, did not impair FVIII endocytosis. These membrane spikes alone were insufficient for cellular uptake, because FV was neither internalized by U87MG cells nor capable of effectively competing for FVIII endocytosis. These results show that FVIII endocytosis is driven by interaction with LRP1, but at the same time involves the spikes in the C1 domain that have been implicated in lipid binding.
